[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2283464, member: 511345"] Hello I'm only a couple of years younger than you and yes it is absolutely possible to make a difference with just diet and exercise and of the two- diet is the thing. I have gone very low carb and my blood sugars are now under control. I do some exercise but to be honest going low carb and not counting calories this has been the only time I have lost weight without rigorous exercise. I've lost over 30 kgs in less than 12 months. If I tried harder I think I could have lost more but I'm looking on this as my new way of ;life not a diet so I haven't counted calories at all- just carbs. I couldn't do any exercise for the first 2 or 3 months but still lost weight. I now do exercise but I'm not talking strenuous- hope to build up to that after ,losing g a few more kgs. In relation to you cholesterol levels- mine have gone up buy I figured that I'm still losing weight and using fat for fuel so I'm just living with them at the moment. I am a carbolic so mentally this has been challenging for me so I'm not really focused on the cholesterol issues just yet- the time is coming but I still have lots of weight to lose and if I'm using fat then I expect it to be in my blood- no medical qualifications at all just what appears to make sense to my brain. I'm not saying I have not found very low carb challenging but I can do- have been doing it for almost a year and am healthier for it. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
